Jute mallow is a crop with versatile applications in industries and as a food source. Low yield resulting from land degradation has necessitated the use of cocoa pod husk as a nutrient source, although it may require inorganic fertilizers to enhance its efficiency. The aim was to determine the effects of Cocoa Pod Husk Powder (CPHP) and urea fertilizer on Jute mallow performance. In a repeated 3x3 factorial pot experiment, CPHP [0 (C0), 30 (C30), and 60 (C60) kg N ha-1] and urea fertilizer [0 (U0), 30 (U30), and 60 (U60) kg N ha-1] were evaluated on Jute growth, fresh and dry biomasses using a randomized complete block design with five replicates. Applying CPHP increased the growth parameters but reduced fresh and dry biomass of Jute mallow in both plantings. The plants treated with U60 had significantly higher fresh biomass than the control during the first planting, but were similar in the second planting. The sole CPHP and urea treatments performed better for the parameters observed. However, C30U60 had similar fresh weights (11.14 and 11.40 g per plant) with C0U60 (12.76 and 15.07 g per plant) during the first and second plantings, respectively. Jute mallow dry biomass ranged from 1.64 (C60U30) to 2.12 (C30U60) g per plant and differed significantly between C0U30 (1.30 g per plant) and C0U60 (3.00 g per plant) during the first and second plantings, respectively. Cocoa pod husk powder at 30 kg N combined with urea at 60 kg N ha-1 is recommended for improving crop and soil quality.
El jute mallow es un cultivo con aplicaciones versátiles en industrias y como fuente de alimento. El bajo rendimiento resultante de la degradación del suelo ha hecho necesario el uso de cáscaras de mazorcas de cacao como fuente de nutrientes, aunque puede requerir fertilizantes inorgánicos para mejorar su eficiencia. Este estudio determinó los efectos del polvo de cáscara de mazorca de cacao (CPHP) y el fertilizante de urea en el rendimiento del jute mallow. En un experimento repetido en macetas con un diseño factorial 3x3, se evaluaron el CPHP [0 (C0), 30 (C30) y 60 (C60) kg N ha-1] y el fertilizante de urea [0 (U0), 30 (U30) y 60 (U60) kg N ha-1] sobre el crecimiento del jute, biomasa fresca y seca utilizando un diseño de bloques completamente al azar con cinco réplicas. La aplicación de CPHP aumentó los parámetros de crecimiento, pero redujo la biomasa fresca y seca del jute mallow en ambas siembras. Las plantas tratadas con U60 tuvieron una biomasa fresca significativamente más alta que el control durante la primera siembra, pero fueron similares en la segunda siembra. Los tratamientos de CPHP y urea por sí solos tuvieron un mejor rendimiento en los parámetros observados. Sin embargo, C30U60 tuvo pesos frescos similares (11.14 y 11.40 g por planta) con C0U60 (12.76 y 15.07 g por planta) durante las primeras y segundas siembras, respectivamente. La biomasa seca de la malva de yute varió de 1.64 (C60U30) a 2.12 (C30U60) g por planta y diferenció significativamente entre C0U30 (1.30 g por planta) y C0U60 (3.00 g por planta) durante las primeras y segundas siembras, respectivamente. Se recomienda el polvo de cáscara de vaina de cacao a 30 kg N combinado con urea a 60 kg N ha-1 para mejorar la calidad del cultivo y del suelo.
